Navy and Air Force will meet on Saturday on the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Navy will mark the occasion with a show of unity for military branches by wearing special Marine Corps football uniforms, inspired by the Marines' "Dress Blue A" uniform with white gloves, black cleats, red trim and royal blue pants. "The actual ensemble worn by a Marine is the only uniform within the U.S. Military designated to include this red, white, and blue color scheme," the Navy website says.

The helmets say "OO-RAH" on the front of them, "Semper Fi" on the back and the player nameplates and feature the Corps' Eagle, Globe & Anchor logo on the sides.

Air Force will wear its annual "Air Power Legacy" alternate uniforms, with this year's honoring the B-52 Stratofortress.
